IU304 - Audioscan Advancements in Simulated Real-ear Measurements of Hearing Aid Fittings

Abstract: This session will describe the concept of simulated real-ear measurement (S-REM) and highlight recent advancements in Audioscan’s implementation of this verification approach that support new clinical workflows. Through a combination of lecture and demonstration methods, the benefits of S-REM will be highlighted along with key procedural considerations that improve measurement accuracy and predictions of dB SPL levels at the eardrum when REM is not possible. Findings from a recent collaborative study investigating the application of new venting corrections to test box measurements will also be reviewed along with implications for clinical practice.
